Answer:

(View Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

A dart is thrown at random onto a board that has the shape of a circle as shown below. Calculate the probability that the dart will hit the shaded region. (Use π = 3.142)

Solution:

Total area of board = 3.142 × 14 2 = 615.83 cm2

Area of non-shaded circle = 3.142 × 7 2 = 153.99 cm2

Area of shaded region = 615.83 – 153.99 = 461.84 cm2 = 462 cm2 (rounded to whole number)

Probability of hitting the shaded region =
